I think this was outside of the budget, I read about this last week in the IT, can't remember specifics but there was 150m funding made available to childcare providers that signed up to keep prices at 2021 levels. This funding was to be used to increase hourly wages to 14 euro or something

edit, found the below

There was an employment regulation order that came into effect two weeks ago.

It sets out minimum wages.

19 years old	€11.70
20 years old	€13.00
